Although we aren't specifically informed of the fact, the video Dammi i Colori of Anri Sala shows a big painting project in the city of Tirana. (Albania), initiated by the mayor of Tirana (and a former friend of Sala) : Edi Rama. This video is Sala's crystallisation of his friend's dizzyingly intensity to create a better life for the city. The video shows people hurry back and forth across gangplanks, serious faced, getting on with the day. Above them, painters paint. A montage of buildings, with motifs that hint at a number of designers. Some seem to resemble the odd-shaped Hundertwasser apartment buildings in Vienna, though this might be a trick of the colour scheme. The camera closes in and pans, blanketing us in orange, then blue, then grey where the brushes haven't reached yet.
